08-14-2005 22:42:13 Portal Corp. A portal mission room.
Mr. Horndiggity has joined the team. A new team task has been chosen.
Mr. Horndiggity: Hello everyone.
Life O Da Party: ‘ello.
Medika: Hello Horn. <delightedly> It is so good to see y—ooops.
Mr. Horndiggity gives Medika a warm hug, pulling her off her feet. Medika smiles at him happily.
The Party assembles on the other side of the Portal.
Mr. Horndiggity: Are we go?
Rush 2.0: The Horn is gonna do one run.
As Mr. Horndiggity and Salsmarius head into the ruined dimension to battle the invading Freakshow, the young physician repeatedly checks her com for their health read-outs. When both bars drop precipitously, she automatically starts to head in their direction, arching into the beginning maneuver of her teleport.
Rush 2.0: Stop, Med. Come back here, Med.
Medika: That's Horn...!
Rush 2.0: Let the two demonboys have their playtime, Med.
Aborting her ‘port, Medika falls into the bay where Angel and Zonestar are playing private games.
Medika: Sorry, didn't mean to drop in on your swimming party.
Life O Da Party: Demonboys, eh? <an uneasy pause> ‘K, after this one run, I have to go help a friend.
Rush 2.0: Okay, Light.
Medika is totally absorbed in watching her com unit.
Zonestar passes a bottle to the others.
Zonestar: There ya go.
Salsmarius: Definitely a shot..
Life O Da Party laughs.
Medika: <looks up> Sorry, I’m back.
Salsmarius: <teasing> Front?
Life O Da Party: MIDDLE!
Rush 2.0: TOP!
Salsmarius: Pfft, you know you prefer the bottom, Rush.
Life O Da Party laughs. Medika blushes in embarrassment.
Life O Da Party: Friends of yours, Medika?
Rush 2.0: Not really. She just tolerates us.
Life O Da Party: Heh. Somebody's gotta watch the kiddies play?
Medika: Eric, that's not true. I love working with the Champions. You know that!
Rush 2.0 grins at Med.
Salsmarius: They are a pity case...
Medika: I'm just really slow at jokes, Life O Da Party.
Life O Da Party: Heh. S'okay.. I usually am too.
Mr. Horndiggity: <chiming in> But quick at heals.
Medika: <smiling in gratitude> Thank you, Horn.
Light Bearer: How much time ya think we have?
DEVIL Angel 2: For what, Light?
Mr. Horndiggity: ‘Till the Horn gets bored.
Light Bearer: <patting his own com unit> My buddy really needs me
Medika: You should go to your friends, Light. Loyalty is a good thing.
Mr. Horndiggity: Yup yup.
Light Bearer: Sals, will you SK Rush?
Salsmarius: Not good, Light... but... loyalty is… nice.... I float by the tank.. he'd die.
Medika: I will sk Rush.
Light Bearer: OK, thanx, guys. Thanx for the team too.
Rush 2.0: Take care, Light.
DEVIL Angel 2: See ya around, Light.
Life O Da Party: But.. I’m getting’ called away too. SG duty calls. Sooo.. sorry.. but.. gotta run.
Rush 2.0: Take it easy.

WARNING: You are about to exit this zone.
Medika joins Mr. Horndiggity in a quieter part of the Portal staging room. They speak together quietly.
Medika: It is always a pleasure seeing you, Horn.
Mr. Horndiggity: Would you be free for dinner tomorrow.
Medika: <smiling up at the demon> I would be.
Mr. Horndiggity: Excellent! Shall we go to the place with the hard-to-read menus again?
Medika: OK. And we will practise reading them.
Mr. Horndiggity: The Horn has been given an absolutely appalling amount of money by the people at portal court, and would love to spend some of it on you.
Mr. Horndiggity smiles broadly.
Medika: I -- I would be honoured as always to spend time with you, Horn.
Mr. Horndiggity: Wonderful!
Medika: <smiles> I always feel wonderful with you.
Mr. Horndiggity: And you can help the Horn take care of one of his lingering problems when working with the Champions….
Medika: Any help I can be, I will be happy to give. What can the matter be?
Mr. Horndiggity: Well, he still needs his medical check up to be part of the Champions’ medical coverage when working with them, and the Horn would be honored to have you help him out with that.
Medika: Oh! <embarrassed at her forgetfulness of her mundane duties> Of course. Come into my office tomorrow.
Mr. Horndiggity: How about after dinner? Should be more fun then.
Mr. Horndiggity grins slightly crookedly.
Medika: Highly irregular, b-but, yes, that would be fine.
Mr. Horndiggity: Later everyone.
DEVIL Angel 2: Nite, Mr. Horn.
Medika smiles after the departing demon.
